What are the indications of urine specimen collection through midstream catch?
Midstream urine specimen collection is typically indicated for diagnosing urinary tract infections (UTIs), assessing kidney function, and performing routine urinalysis. This method minimizes contamination from the urethra and external genitalia, providing a more accurate representation of the urine. It is also preferred for culture tests to identify pathogens, as it yields a cleaner sample for laboratory analysis. Proper technique is essential to ensure the reliability of test results.
